Jenga on a Plane, DE Hard

[Ludwig Verrlicht]

Name: Jenga on a Plane


Participants:

Tala, Marik, and Jeff


Location:

On a giant Helicarrier


Difficulty Level: Hard Slap Stick Humor

Setting: DE

Plotline:

Each member of this adventure was living their best life up until they decided to sleep or rest in some capacity. Upon waking up, somehow, the group finds themselves inside a helicarrier, specifically in an enlisted male berthing. Deep within the Hellicarrier the group will quickly realize there is no easy way out, they must fight through hordes of enemies and scour the ship to determine what exactly is preventing them from leaving. In the meanwhile, though, something is watching. Waiting for the opportunity to strike. Chaos will ensue on this helicarrier, can the group work together and stop it or will they be consumed by the strange events going on board the ship?



Estimated Enemy Strength:

Mobs - The enemies will start at class 6 with 200 SP. At certain intervals of posts the mobs will increase in power.

Mini-bosses - Minimum class 4 while at maximum class . Don't expect too many of these.

Final boss - Class 1, rank 3.


Estimated Time Until Completion:

I'm gonna be honest. I'm only gunning for 3 pages however if the players decide they want a longer thread, who am I to stop them?


Starts:

When I decide to make the actual intro.


Special Conditions:

- There is no means of teleporting out of the helicarrier. Pocket dimensions work but will always return the user to the ship.

- Mobs will grow in power as time goes on. This is both in class and SP.

- Be mindful of what powers are used. The ship can be damaged. Events can and will happen if the ship takes damage. If too much total damage occurs the ship will crash with the players inside.

As mentioned in the plotline section of the info post every character was previously in their resident domain. However, at some point, the world went black, and everyone ended up asleep. Unaware of who or more specifically what was going onto them. Perhaps in the back of their mind they will sense that something is wrong but that will feel so far away that it wouldn't be worthwhile to investigate. . . That is until the world around everyone shakes and rumbles. The shaking is intense and while it doesn't throw off anyone from their beds it is enough to jolt everyone awake. This would be when they realize that they are anywhere but their former residence.

Instead, all the characters would be in a male berthing. The walkways are cramped, the lighting is dull due to emergency lights running, and it's extremely cold. In Marik's case specifically, unlike Tala or Jeff, he would actually be flung off from his perch and onto the floor. This would be due to having decided that sleeping on top of a series of lockers was a good idea. Sure, he fit snugly enough, and he had all the air he could ever want but falling down a couple feet and smacking into a locker in the process was not a very pleasant experience to say the least. Thankfully this wouldn't actually harm him beyond the aches on his face and front side of his body.

As for the other two, hopefully they didn't jump in their racks. If they did, they were likely to slam their heads into a small glass bulb, wiring, and several sheets of metal. Certainly, painful but the metal alone wouldn't actually cause any damage to their head aside from a minor headache. . . Unless the individual had high strength. In which case it was very likely to slam through the metal and possibly even go through their "ceiling" and into the bed above them. Tala and Jeff do not have to be in the same 6 pack (2 sets of 3 bunk beds on either side of a small sheet of metal.) But they would be nearby either across from the 6 pack another is in or on the immediate left and right 6 packs. Marik on the other hand would be towards the back of the room where a line of lockers was but not on the floor. At most all of them would be about 20 feet from one another.

And just in case we've got heavy sleepers an alarm would go off. Clearly automated with bells ringing every couple seconds. This would be loud and would reverberate throughout the ship as a whole. This allowed for those of keen senses to hear the bells repeat from the hallways nearby as the alarms went off at slightly different intervals. As far as their vessel shaking, by the point everyone started to get up and walk around the shaking would have stopped along with the ringing. In their place however was an automated message. "Actual Casualty. Actual Casualty. Forwardmost, Starboard side engine intermittent failure and Aftmost, Port engine intermittent failure. I repeat. Actual Casualty. Actual Casualty. Forwardmost, Starboard side engine intermittent failure and Aftmost, Port side engine intermittent failure. All crew man your battle stations." This message would repeat for four more times before also going quiet.

The room was quiet and cold now. There was no shaking but if someone has 300 or more senses, they would very distantly be able to hear the sounds of machines slowing down be before picking up again. But along with this would be something else. . . there would be an odd slow sound. Almost like moving water but more solid. This too was distant but slowly getting closer? It was hard to tell if it was going further away or getting closer as it was hard to pinpoint. That aside things seemed calm enough for the time being so the ball was in the groups court.

[Jeff Franklin]

Jeff was enjoying his chicken flavored strawberry rhubarb pie in the cafeteria located in the Sanctus headquarters. A yawn would come from his mouth telling him to get some shut eye, so quickly finishing his food the Saika headed to his room. Lying down in bed he closed his eyes, strangely sleep would happen far faster than normal, of course he wasn't aware of this. Why does my bed feel so tough? Did someone add rocks to it while I wasn't paying attention? For that fact why is it so cool? Pretty sure the AC only blows hot air in Hell. Thoughts racing through his mind and still they weren't enough to rile him from his slumber.



Suddenly Jeff would be shaken awake as if he was currently experiencing a major earthquake. "What in the 4 worl-", before the man could finish his words glass would break and metal would shriek. What happened you may wonder? Simple, Jeff just jolted upright to look around only to find his head smashing through a light bulb and the metal sheet that held the bed above him. Eyes wide open now he could clearly see, and feel, the mattress above him being pushed upward thanks to his dome going through the base of the top bunk. "I swear, did someone move me while I was sleeping? Waking up inside a nuclear plant above the volatile liquid before falling in was funny the first time, but if someone thought they could do it a third time to me? They're getting even more punishments than those before."


Pulling his head from out of the hole he made Jeff looked around, apparently he was on the right side bunks of this small room. He could see someone laying on the floor, probably tossed from their sleeping spot from the violent shaking that happened. Otherwise he could only tell there was one other person, though he wasn't completely sure as breathing was how he knew. Without much time to get up and take a better look an alarm went off with a vioce on the loud speakers. "Actual Casualty. Actual Casualty. Forwardmost, Starboard side engine intermittent failure and Aftmost, Port engine intermittent failure. I repeat. Actual Casualty. Actual Casualty. Forwardmost, Starboard side engine intermittent failure and Aftmost, Port side engine intermittent failure. All crew man your battle stations." Listening to that play until silence once again Jeff would speak up in an irritated voice, "Why can't I just some peace every now and again? Only time I find to truly relax I have to do my work in it's place, Ugggggghhhh."

Tala had also jolted up out of his rack which resulted in him smacking his head against the light fixture above him. However, unlike Jeff, he was nowhere near as physically strong as the Saika so he simply ended up hurting himself more than he did the light. Tala lays back down with a groan as he holds his head for a moment, trying to recall what exactly happened. The last he could recall was that he'd been up late last night training to further his Bakudō skills before he'd suddenly felt exhausted and went off to bed.

He rolls out of the hard bed is confused when he finds his feet touching cold, tiled floors. Where in the heck am I? This doesn't look like the squad barracks... Before he could continue on with his thought, he also noticed the person on the floor as well as the person in the rack across from him. It doesn't take him long to figure out what exactly this person was which causes Tala to be slightly defensive, gripping the hilt of his zanpakutō, "What's a Sinner doing here? And where are we?"

He's only now seemed to notice the alarm going off and looks around confused, as he just tries to figure out what exactly was going on and what those alarms meant. He glances back at the Saika and raises a brow, "I don't suppose you have any idea what all that means or is about would you?" With all things considering, if Jeff didn't come off as hostile then Tala would release his grip on his hilt and wander around the berthing, looking for ant kinds of clues as to what their situation was at the moment.

Inovation

is the corner stone of being lazy

It opens doors to make life easier

(1) Light snoring would emanate from marik’s sleeping form the man had just pulled two split shifts one at mcdonalds and one at target , his muscles where screaming at him which made the sleep come all the quicker. He had snuck onto some government black op site and fallen asleep and he had to say this nap was the best he’d had in awhile.


(2) His neon green hair blowing about ever so gently as the AC vent blasted away , This was paradise and like all good things that came marik’s way they had to come to an abrupt halt. His world would suddenly become weightless as his eyes slowly opened , he was falling and fast at that sadly he was still shaking off sleep.

(3) With a loud hard ‘Thwack’ he fell face first into the lockers before hitting the ground with a thud. "ughhh" he wuod groan out as he slowly picked himself up off the floor alarm blaring in his ears. "oh shut the fuck up!" he would exclaim to no one in pacticular.

(4) In mariks's own defense his vulgar response was warrented , as his sense's where fairly high and this alarm was murdering his ear drums. 'where the fuck am i anyway he would think to himself as he looked around the room.

(5) He would aknowledge the other two in the room with a glance before he turned on his heel and attempted to open the door. 'im surrounded by wierd people in a weird place keep it moving marik' he would internally chide as he attempted to leave the room and explore his surroundings.

Once the alarms passed, the room and by extension the ship, considering Marik was leaving the berthing, was eerily silent. Typically, on a military grade structure if something was going on, especially an emergency, one would expect that there would be the sounds of movement. Or voices yelling out to one another. And yet. . . there was nothing. It was silent, with the exception of the lights humming and the AC blowing through different vents in the berthing. Marik though would be in for a bit of a surprise, given he was leaving after all. Upon opening the door, which he'd find wasn't hindered in any capacity, he'd open up and see several human bodies in a small space. The space was an abnormal shape, but it could most closely be called a rectangle. There was the AC unit to his immediate right, a locker before him, and to his left was another door and the stairway to the floor above him.

The floor above him however wasn't able to be seen because a hulking metal platform was currently laid down over the square outline in the ceiling. There was, however, a circular handle and some gears in the center that the ladder led to. So, he could attempt to open it if he wanted. However as mentioned earlier, there were a few bodies in this room. All dead, and the floor was red with blood, still fresh and liquid. Occasionally the blood made small waves as it went from one end of the room to another. If he wanted to look them over the cause of death was hard to determine. Namely because they were battered, bruised, bitten, and torn into. And these wounds were throughout their bodies.

A couple had large chunks of their lower torso ripped out and their organs having slung out. Other had portions of their necks and arms ripped out. One had a significant number of small puncture wounds . . . . And the last. . . was arguably the most disturbing. The flesh was purple, dark purple. His hands and feet, what remained of them, were bloated and his blood was actually mixed with a darker purple color that was anything but natural. The individuals face sagged and looked like it was slowly coming off as if the bonds between the skull and flesh were being eaten away. Needless to say, the room was disturbing. And the blood markings on the wall, likely the last throes of these individuals against their fight with. . . something. . . didn't make that much better.

As for the remainder of the berthing despite it being empty it was fairly clean despite being "lived in". And yet there was no else present. Things such as boots and other uniforms as well as blankets, personal belongings and the like were within each bunk. Locks were still on lockers. If one went to the other side of the berthing and looked into the bathroom, they'd see it was. . . relatively clean all things considered. And strangely enough, despite having at least one of the exits, as another exit was by the bathroom, no blood came in nor did the smell. Until of course Marik opened the door and the smell wafted into the space, likely alerting Tala and Jeff given it was intense to say the least. Lastly, given non present could hear the sounds of the engines or the "flowing" sound, it would go unnoticed that the flow stopped for a moment. Far away from the group and possibly even on another level. No further movement was made, however.

[Jeff Franklin]

The other two people in this little room would begin to move, Jeff meanwhile was just standing there fuming for a minute while Tala got to his feet. "What's a Sinner doing here? And where are we?" The man would ask after standing near the Sinner, "Doing here, last I knew I was in HELL. So yeah, I don't know where we are now." Looking around the little room he would see the over guy get up after falling to the ground. Unable to help himself a grin appeared on the Saika's face, I wonder how much that hurt?.



"I don't suppose you have any idea what all that means or is about would you?" Tala would ask this referring to the noise but Jeff would just shrug, "If I knew there's a good chance I wouldn't be standing here." Finishing his words the other dude would quickly move to one of the doors nearby, throwing open releasing a pungent stench that reminded Jeff of his new home. Ah, the smell of recent but not to recent death, wonder what caused it?.



With that thought Jeff would walk over to see the scene, sure enough he was right. There was a good amount of bodies, some more recognizably in tact then others. "Hmm, seems some kind of beast had a good meal, wonder if it's still around." Talking to no one in particular he see's a hatch leading upward in the room full of blood and bodies. Stepping forward into the pool of blood he ignores the stench and moves to stand under the hatch, turning to face the other two people in the other room. "So, you think we should head through here? Or find a different way. I don't know if you to have the stomach to deal with this after all." With those words he would smile mockingly at them, challenging them to follow if they dare.

[Tala Selao]

Tala frowns at Jeff's answer but he didn't sense or feel like they were lying to him however his attention is quickly drawn away from the Sinner as the third individual in the room gets up and just glances at them for a moment and then goes to leave the berthing. The entire time Tala watched him until they opened the door and he visible recoils and covers his nose as the stench wafts into the room and hits him. "Hmm, seems some kind of beast had a good meal, wonder if it's still around." He gives the Sinner an odd look as he spoke up and then walks out of the berthing.

Tala doesn't immediately follow as he glances around the room, making note of all the personal items and clothes that had been left here. He then moves to the exit and has to stop himself from gagging as the smell was much stronger out here as well as the image of all the deformed and bloody bodies filling the hall. "So, you think we should head through here? Or find a different way. I don't know if you to have the stomach to deal with this after all." He narrows his eyes at the Sinner as he smiled at them, hearing the challenge in his words.

"Hang on...let me do something before we keep moving. Something caused all this and we need to know where it is." He then holds up his hand, palm open and down as he closes his eyes and let's a spherical pulse of reiatsu emit from his hand as he speaks the incantation, "Throw the pebble in the pond; ripple across the still waters, trace the boundaries, return. Bakudō number three: Sazanami." The pulse of reiatsu wouldn't go very far, only reaching out to a length of 400 feet but considering Tala's mastery of the Kido, the reiatsu would move past the walls and objects until it found spiritual bodies to bounce off of. So they'd know if there was anything they'd need to worry about or be cautious of in the immediate vicinity as the ripples would get back to Tala near instantly as they traveled at a speed of 4000.

{Reiatsu Pool - 5,975/6,000}-25 Bakudō #3: Sazanami (Ripple)

SPOILER: Click to show

{Bakudō #3: Sazanami (Ripple)}Class: 7

Technique Type: Kidō - Bakudō

Usable By: Kidō-users

Technique Element: Spirit

Technique Cost: 25 Reiatsu

Description: Sazanami is a particularly simplistic and straightforward Bakudō that at first seems to have no actual ability about it. When activated, this Bakudō sends a pulse of Reiatsu out in a spherical ripple from the user’s palm. This Reiatsu has no actual effect on anything, traveling until it reaches another object with some form of spiritual energy. Once it has done so, it bounces in the direction of its origin, giving an idea of the direction of any nearby active spiritual objects. This excludes environmental objects such as buildings within Soul Society, which do not possess an active spiritual energy. Such objects simply cause the rippling Reiatsu to stop without rebounding. When mastered, this technique can also be sent through objects, such as the ground or a building, rather than stopping upon impacting them. Additionally, mastery allows a constant ripple effect for the duration of a single post, regardless of incantation, that originates from its casting point. The range of this technique varies by the Reiatsu Strength of the user; for every 50 Reiatsu Strength the user has, this technique has a range of one hundred feet in radius. The ripples themselves travel at an astounding 4000 Speed. Due to its incredible speed and the thinned-out nature of the Reiatsu, the technique is undetectable to any but the user unless one actively knows that it is there.

How to Use: The technique’s user simply raises their hand and releases a pulse of Reiatsu. The incantation can be spoken before or after to release it.

Incantation: When the incantation is used, the Bakudo creates a continuous ripple effect for three posts using its initial casting point as an origin. The user can intercept reverberations from the technique even if they have moved, giving a continuous feed of the directions of active spiritual energy. (“Throw the pebble in the pond; ripple across the still waters, trace the boundaries, return.”)

Drawbacks: Despite its speed, this technique’s effects are minimal. The pulse of Reiatsu is useful for tracking a target’s position or revealing cloaked targets, but unless the incantation is used, the cost of repeated use adds up.

(1) 'im far to sober for this shit' he would think to himself as he looked over the carnage that had been wrought in the room , no sighns of a struggle and yet no sighns of forced entry either. Whatever had killed them was already on the ship and was silent.

(2) Then there was large ass puncture holes on the bodies , well big from marik's point of view thinking back on his hummingbird days. He would seemingly nod in approval as the bird in him could spot the work of a superior apex predator and he wanted no fucking part of it.

(3) Sadly he had little in the way of choice , as the other two men walked in the room he would look at their backs as he examined thier clothes. 'one guy a clear shinigami....and the other is some guy??' he would think to himself as he shook his head.

(4) "fuck that" he would mummble to himself as he turned to his left walking a few feet away , deciding not to slam the door shut on the two. One thing marik was sure of he needed to get the fuck outta here before his manager called him he was still on probationary period at target and walmart.

(5) Walking about ten feet to the right of the door he would attempt to crack open one of the random lockers dotting the area ripping it off its hinges , surely they had food. If marik was expected to find his way through this place he was gonna do it with some snacks he didnt care of they where mre's or the heads of children a snack was a snack at this point although he would prefer a snickers.

As Tala used Sazanami he'd get a quick layout of the area around them for his 400 feet. It was. . . complex and definitely created with purpose. Though the various levels, rooms, framework, and pathways were strange to say the least. And strangely enough? The entire ship was spiritually dense enough that upon the vibrations returning to him, he'd able to sense that the ship was at a minimum spiritually enhanced as far as the metal making it up was concerned. But as mentioned earlier, he felt nothing living. Occasionally he pinged various bodies in various rooms but what energy was left in them was dissipating and clearly showing that only the dead would be their guests . . . at least for the foreseeable future.



Marik on the other hand found a far more pleasant surprise. . . after a small nuisance. Having ripped open a locker he'd quickly find that it was holding back a lot of loose clothing that decided to fall upon him. Coveralls, undershirts, socks, and other clothing articles all fell upon him. Thankfully, they were all clean as the fresh detergent smell was present. Once he pulled off the clothing, he'd see his rewards. Three unopened bags of gummy snakes, 3 cans of Venom (Fruit Punch flavored), a box of animal crackers that were all snakes and reptiles, and last but not least five bottles of cold water. Sadly, there were no snickers to be seen nor anything else of the snack variety but at least he got something. And if he focused on the Venom drinks, he could tell something was just a little off about them. They held just a bit of spiritual energy to them.



With Jeff having already gotten to the hatch, it'd be easy for him to see that all he needed to do was turn the handle clockwise to open the gear chain. Hell, it even had little arrows etched into it so show which way was open. If Jeff however just decided he'd try to force it up and break the gears he'd find he could start bending the 4in thick gears but surprisingly, even at his strength be unable to open it. Hell, he'd likely prevent it from being opened ever again if he didn't use his spiritual arms to just force the hatch open. Regardless of how he eventually opens the hatch he'd have easy access to a main hallway that went forwards and backwards.



The hallway was long but had big thick metal hatches blocking the way off about 60 feet in either direction. The floors were rusted with occasional metal plates showing. However, they were as sturdy as spiritual steel, so he'd find them surprisingly durable if he intended to pressure test them. Wires were hanging from the ceiling and occasionally cut and sparking lightly. The lights were dim but bright enough to show the hallways. Blood marks were all over the place and every few feet were another body. All dead with similar marks and mortal wounds to their comrades below. The only difference between this floor and the floor below was that there was not a puddle of blood that coated it entirely. There were various puddles, but they were self-contained.



However, one interesting thing to note was that the ceiling and occasionally the floor had holes in them. Sometimes from a ceiling panel having been shifted. Some from pipes having burst and damaging the area around them. Others simply looked like something dug into the metal and made holes for it to go through. Whatever was here was either numerous in number or liked causing a hell of a lot of collateral damage. And considering the ship's message earlier, either option was very likely. However, Jeff's entrance to the main walkway did not go unnoticed. Something had heard the hatch move and "slam" open onto its hinge. A low flowing sound started up again, though unable to be heard by all present, it was slowly, cautiously approaching.

{Venom Energy Drink}
Class 4

Bonus: Supercharged with a bit of reiatsu, this otherwise normal energy drink has been pushed beyond what a typical energy drink is capable of. Where most give the imbiber the means of waking up with ease and keeping them awake this version of Venom forces the body to release adrenaline in large quantities. Thus, making the user not feel any loss of energy from doing anything. Attacks, energy use, high speed running. Etc. This lasts for two posts, the first being the post the user drinks it. This can be extended by drinking additional energy drinks however. . . as with drinking back to back energy drinks normally, there are consequences.

Drawbacks: While the energy drink makes the user have "infinite" stamina for the couple posts, once these posts are done, the user is hit with 2 posts of exhaustion afterwards. While the user is exhausted, they can only use 1 step tech a post and have their speed reduced by 100 points.

If multiple drinks are had the exhaustion posts increase by 1 for every can. The user also loses the means to use step techs during those exhaustion posts unless they have a 2 in Damage Recovery/Poison tolerance.

[Jeff Franklin]

Well, it didn't seem to Jeff the others were in a hurry to go anywhere anytime soon. So without wasting much more time he heads over to the hatch lifting his hands up to grasp the circular handle. With little effort the Saika would start turning it to the right, for some reason the handle wouldn't budge. Tch, must be rusted, seems I'm gonna have to use some elbow grease to loosen it up. Increasing how much strength he was using, the handle finally starts turning. Sure there's a lot of resistance but that's absolutely from the rust and nothing else.



The handle finally jerks quickly as Jeff uses all of his strength, causing the mechanisms to snap for some reason and the hatch flies open. "See, when stuff doesn't work you just have to physically force it." Sticking his head through the opening he managed to get a decent look around, apperently this hatch lead to some kind of hallway. Climbing all the way up he's now standing in the hallway, both ways end about 60 feet with another hatch.



Now that he was actually in the hall Jeff could clearly see the carnage before him, blood pooling in many locations next to the corpses that it drained from. There was also many holes dotting the floors but mostly the ceiling. Lastly the floor had multiple rust spots with metal plates poking up every now and again. It really didn't help that the Saika thought he could hear something, but decided to shrug it off for now. There's no way it could be important information.



With a loud voice Jeff looks through the hatch he just used and shouts to the others, "You guy's coming? Something's clearly been up hear but I don't know where it could have gone." Turning to face the left hatch in the hall he screams once more, "Anyone still alive in here? If you are, I think your friends are dead. Though if you're the one or one's that did this, you seem good at your job."

Tala was more than a little worried about what he'd felt from the ping however before he could fully digest and relay this information to the other two, he flinches at the sound of the hatch being forced open and glances up at the Saika as he makes his way up and begins shouting. He groans internally as he realizes that not only has he been paired up with a Saika but one who seems to blatantly not care about alerting whoever or whatever was responsible for this to their location.

He glances back at Marik as the Arrancar had found his prize and sighs, What did I do to deserve getting mixed up in a mess like this? He shakes his head as he makes his way over to the hatch, glancing up at the Saika as he shouted down at them, "Do you really have to shout?" Without waiting for an answer, he starts to make his way up the hatch after Jeff was fully out of the way, knowing that the area was clear for the time being, where he noticed the arrows on the hatch and scoffs as he realizes that now it seems like this Saika also didn't know how to read instructions or likely just didn't care which also posed a problem if they ran into something in here and needed to work together.

Still, as much as he didn't like the fact that the Saika was announcing their presence so loudly, he didn't like how eerily quite it was in this place. Why were they brought here, what brought them here and what had caused all these deaths? All these questions race through Tala's mind as he pulls himself up into the hallway and glances around to observe the chaos and destruction of this room. He took particular interest in the odd holes in the walls, taking a step closer to one to inspect it, mumbling to himself as he did, "Wonder what did this..."

After he was done doing so, he glances down both hatches at either end of the hall and then glances at Jeff before shrugging and making his way down towards the hatch on the right, waiting a minute for Marik to appear from below if the Arrancar had even decided to follow them up before he tries to open the hatch the correct way if it was jammed or blocked in anyway.

Inovation

is the corner stone of being lazy

It opens doors to make life easier

(1) Marik would simply sigh as an avlanch of pristine laundry fell atop him , it wasnt unpleasent but ot was bothersome. He would take the time to steal a few pairs of fresh socks and stuff them in his back pack before moving his attention back to the locker.

(2) spying the energy drinks he would quickly slide them in his back pack  , taking a moment to look at the can. 'these are gonna hit the spot later' he thought to himself as he stood making his way to follow behind the other two no sense in staying here damn thing might crash any moment.

[Ludwig Verrlicht]

All things considered the ship was doing surprisingly well, if this hallway was representative of the ship. Its inhabitants. . . not so much. Which didn't bode well for the trio but that could be dealt with later correct? Well yes and no. The flowing sound was steadily getting closer however there was another that was closer. A set of others. Initially attracted to the sound of the hatch slamming into the hinge, they slithered through the ceiling avoiding holes in it until they got close to where the sound was. And that's when they saw the trio. First Jeff, who looked around and then decided to yell out. Followed by Tala and his eventual decision to go down the hall towards the front of the ship. And finally, Marik with his backpack of snacks.



The band of scaled siblings nodded at one another with two going on ahead. They stayed away from the various holes and thankfully, because they were only a foot in thickness, they could easily slither around the cramped ceiling with all the piping, wiring, and holes. For Jeff and Tala, they'd sense nothing. Not even hearing the very faint sounds that they made. But Marik would be capable of hearing something. Soft, scratching as the scales shifted against the metal, and the occasional very gentle bump as certain pieces of thin metal dipped. If he tried to sense the nearby area, then he'd immediately realize that there were three snakes in the ceiling. One of which, was watching him and the other two were following his companions.



The snake closest to Marik would wait for a moment, unaware that Marik could sense and or hear its siblings moving around. And once it saw Marik's backside would jump through the nearest hole and try to bite into his shoulder. In the meantime, the other two snakes waited until Tala and Jeff went to the large metal door. It was dogged with the metal handles pointed down on either side of the door. To open it they'd have to pull them up. Though it looked like the hinges and moving parts were caked in blood and thus require a little more "omph" than usual to move em. On this door was also a small window about head level. If either looked through they'd be able to see yet another hallway and a door down the hall another 40-50 feet. Same as the one in front of them.



The hallway looked much the same sans that the bodies in this room looked more on the mutilated side. In addition, there were 3 doors on the left side of the hall, a single door on the right, and a couple more hatches on the ground to the right side of the hall. As mentioned, the other two snakes would be waiting for Tala and Jeff at the door before them. Several holes in the ceiling right above them. Should either decide to start opening the door that's when the two snakes would strike. But as mentioned they wouldn't see them. Their skin having become clear and translucent. At best a brief outline could be seen but that would otherwise without Marik's intervention it'd be hard for either of them to know the snakes were present until it was too late. Intervention or not, the two would fall onto Tala and Jeff's shoulders and begin to constrict themselves around their necks. Meanwhile biting down on their nearest arm. Tala's would be his right and Jeff's would be his left.

{Snakes stealth tech}
Name: Air Skin
Class: 6
Tech type: Physical

Description:
Evolution comes to animals of all kinds. Normally its slow and without much flare, however beings that live in reiatsu rich environments adapt not only far more quickly but in stranger ways. Air Skin is exactly what it sounds like. It's an adaptation of the snake that allows its skin color to change to effectively the color of air. I.E. clear.

Due to this being a biological process this does not require reiatsu. In addition, due to it being generated from a reiatsu rich environment the skin also hides the presence of the snake from lower-level sensory techniques as well as low ES. (100 ES or lower)

Drawbacks: A 1 in Anti-stealth negates this technique. In addition, upon attacking an individual or coming in contact with another the technique is nullified.

[Tala Selao]

Tala nods as the Arrancar made his apperance, following the two up to the next level. Upon noticing that the door had a glass window, he did stop to take a moment and look inside to inspect the next hall for any signs of life, whether they be friendly or hostile. He still had an unsettling feeling about all this and one that grew each body he saw. There was no way some lowly creature took all these people out. What was odd to him was the amount of blood compared to the size and types of wounds that some of these people had. Perhaps this was multiple creatures and not just one entity.

However curiosity of what was in the following rooms and the overall feeling of just wanting to find a way out of here won Tala over as he began to try and open the doors, not bothering to ask Jeff for help as he had the distinct feeling that the Saika would just punch through the door instead. Or probably the window to open it from the other side. Yet before Tala could finish his train of thought, let alone put any effort into opening the door, he felt something suddenly drop on to him and begin squeezing.

This caused Tala's eyes to widen in alarm as he felt the snake try to bite him yet it would have very poor luck in attempting that as the snake's fakes and like most of it's body would then be covered in major cuts and lacerations from the cutback of it trying to bite the young Shinigami who had a much higher spiritual pressure than it could hope to have. This was actually the first time Tala had experienced anything like this before and was even somewhat surprised at the result which he'd only ever heard of.

However if it didn't outright die from the wounds and continued to try and choke the air out from him by his neck then he'd quickly reach up to grab it, which in reality he would have done almost as soon as he'd felt the pressure around his neck had the bite attempt not shocked him, and try to either pull it off or at least hold it back from squeezing anymore than it already has. Should he be unsuccessful in pulling it off and is just holding it in place, then he'd reflexively let his sword shift into it's Shikai whereupon he'd turn his head as best as he could while lifting it to touch the snake with the flat end of one the blades which were already super heated enough to slice through metal.

At this point, the snake should probably be dead or at least in enough pain that it'd let release Tala's neck which he'd then throw it away from him as quickly as he could while shifting into a defensive stance with both hands on his zan. He'd glance over at the other two to make sure they were fairing okay, doubting that either would really be struggling with the snake if he was able to deal with his but he does address a concern once all the snakes were dealt with, "Did anyone get bit?"

{Overall Ability}Hestia's abilities, much like the mythical goddess of the same namesake, revolves around heat and fire and the power she has over them. She gives her wielder the same capability of tending to the heat and fires in the world and in themselves.

Her abilities very much focus on making use of pre-existing heat and fire to work although Hestia provides a constant source of heat so that the user can make use of after much practice and understanding of her abilities.She also allows the user to sense and differentiate types of heat, being more like a feeling than any other type of sensory cue.

{Shikai Overall Ability}In Shikai, Hāsu's abilities are more focused on the generation, control, and manipulation of heat. To start off with, Hāsu's blades are always hot to the touch, producing enough heat to cut through metal and other materials that aren't reinforced by reiatsu and even burning flesh that it cuts through.

The user also learns how to make use of the heat that she is giving off and will continue to give off as long as she is released. Hāsu can also allow the user to control and manipulate any source of heat and fire, excluding the heat of living creatures save for their own.
